We swore we’d never homeschool our kids. Whoops…

…and after 12 years of teaching our children at home, I don’t know if we will ever want to go back to a traditional method of education. We have found a lot of joy in home educating (doesn’t that sound fancier than homeschooling? We be so fancy). Regardless of the title we give it, every parent is handed the responsibility of raising their offspring to become fully functioning, healthy adults (no pressure, wink, wink) and that includes their education. This doesn’t mean everyone ought to be home educating. It simply means, as with all areas of parenting, we consider carefully all the options available, and choose what we believe is best for our kids.

My hope is that as I share the joys, challenges and mistakes which I have discovered on my own journey as a home educating mom, you will be encouraged to consider all you are discovering on your own journey, and how God is using all of it for his glory and the good of your heart and home.
